Honest answers only — it's just for you, and nothing is stored.

A meaningful share of my savings is in hard assets, not just cash that inflation erodes.

I hold some bitcoin in self-custody — keys I control, recoverable across borders.

I have access to productive land or space (even small) for food, water or energy.

I produce or could quickly produce some of my own food, and keep a deep pantry + water.

I can keep my essentials powered through a multi-day blackout.

My income and life are portable — I'm not over-concentrated in a single jurisdiction.

I use decentralized tools (encrypted comms, P2P, self-hosting) with no single point of failure.

My accounts and devices are locked down (password manager, 2FA, encryption).

I have practical skills (first aid, repair, growing) and stay calm under stress.

I'm actively passing resilience, agency and skills on to the next generation.

Any one of these makes you measurably more resilient today.

Each dimension has a full path from Start today to Sovereign. Come back whenever you're ready for the next rung.
